Introduction to Administering Active Directory

This guide explains how to administer Microsoft Active Directory. These activities are part of the operating phase of the information technology (IT) life cycle. If you are not familiar with this guide, review the following sections of this introduction.

When to Use This Guide

You should use this guide when:

•	You want to manage common Active Directory problems that are associated with misconfiguration.
•	You want to configure Active Directory to increase network availability.

This guide assumes a basic understanding of what Active Directory is, how it works, and why your organization uses it to access, manage, and secure shared resources across your network. You should also have a thorough understanding of how Active Directory is deployed and managed in your organization. This includes an understanding of the mechanism your organization uses to configure and manage Active Directory settings.

This guide can be used by organizations that have deployed Windows Server 2003 and Windows Server 2003 with Service Pack 1 (SP1). It includes information that is relevant to different roles within an IT organization, including IT operations management and administrators. It contains high-level information that is required to plan an Active Directory operations environment. This information provides management-level knowledge of Active Directory and the IT processes required to operate it.

In addition, this guide contains more detailed procedures that are designed for operators who have varied levels of expertise and experience. Although the procedures provide operator guidance from start to finish, operators must have a basic proficiency with the Microsoft Management Console (MMC) and snap-ins and know how to start administrative programs and access the command line. If operators are not familiar with Active Directory, it might be necessary for IT planners or IT managers to review the relevant operations in this guide and provide the operators with parameters or data that must be entered when the operation is performed.

How to Use this Guide

The operations areas are divided into the following types of content:

•	Objectives are high-level goals for managing, monitoring, optimizing, and securing Active Directory. Each objective consists of one or more high-level tasks that describe how the objective is accomplished.
•	Tasks are used to group related procedures and provide general guidance for achieving the goals of an objective.
•	Procedures provide step-by-step instructions for completing the task.

If you are an IT manager who will be delegating tasks to operators within your organization, you will want to:

•	Read through the objectives and tasks to determine how to delegate permissions and whether you need to install tools before operators perform the procedures for each task.
•	Before assigning tasks to individual operators, ensure that you have all the tools installed where operators can use them.
•	When necessary, create “tear sheets” for each task that operators perform within your organization. Cut and paste the task and its related procedures into a separate document and then either print these documents or store them online, depending on the preference of your organization.

Install, configure, and manage wireless devices.
After an infrared device is installed, (see Above) the Wireless Link icon appears in Control Panel. When another IrDA transceiver comes in range, the Wireless Link icon appears on the desktop and on the taskbar. You can then send a file over the infrared connection with any of the following actions:

Specify a location and one or more files using the Wireless Link dialog box.

Use drag-and-drop operations to move files onto the Wireless Link icon on the desktop.

Right-click any selection of files on the desktop, in Windows Explorer, or in My Computer, and then click the Send To Infrared Recipient command.

Print to a printer configured to use an infrared port.

Wireless access points

A wireless network adapter card with a transceiver sometimes called an access point, broadcasts and receives signals to and from the surrounding computers and passes back and forth between the wireless computers and the cabled network.

Access points act as wireless hubs to link multiple wireless NICs into a single subnet. Access points also have at least one fixed Ethernet port to allow the wireless network to be bridged to a traditional wired Ethernet network.

Install, configure, and manage USB devices.

Universal serial bus is an external bus that supports Plug and Play installation, and port is usually located on the back of your computer near the serial port or parallel port.

USB ports have a separate entry in Device Manager. To check the device status, click Universal Serial Bus controllers, right-click USB Root Hub, and then click Properties. If USB is enabled in BIOS but the USB host controller does not appear in Device Manager under Universal Serial Bus controllers, or a yellow warning icon appears next to the host controller name, then the version of BIOS may be outdated, and needs to be updated.

When using USB devices you can:

Connect and disconnect devices without shutting down or restarting your computer.

A single USB port to connect up to 127 peripheral devices, including speakers, telephones, CD-ROM drives, joysticks, tape drives, keyboards, scanners, and cameras.
